bootstrap validate input type file not working

I'm having trouble getting a bootstrap validation for an input type of 'file' to work. The form is validating even if I do not select a file to upload. It is supposed to require at least one file, of a certain type and a maximum size. I can tell that the validation is coming back as validated because I get the green checkmark at the far right of the field. I'm fairly new to bootstrap but I can't figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • I think the issue is minFiles is not a valid parameter here. A quick fix here would be to add a required attribute to the html tag.

    e.g.: 

    <input name="resume" id="resume" type="file" class="filestyle" data-text="Select New Resume" data-dragdrop="true" data-btnClass="btn-primary" data-buttonBefore="true" required>
